testing gdm-2.13.0.2 with shadow authentication



gdm-2.13.02 has been released. This release addresses the issues
reported to this list by users of debian-like systems.

It would be helpful to the maintainers of gdm if we could exercise the
new code.

Try the following:
* cd ./desktop/gdm
*edit the GAR Makefile
- change the GARVERSION: 

        2.13.0.1 -> 2.13.0.2

- change CONFIGURATION_ARGS
to try out shadow authentication 

        CONFIGURE_ARGS = $(DIRPATHS)
        --enable-authentication-scheme=shadow

if '--enable-authentication-scheme' is not specified, the configuration
process will automatically select an authentication scheme for you

        Choose a specific authentication scheme default=auto

        --enable-authentication-scheme=auto/pam/crypt/shadow  


* update the checksums

        make makesum
        
* build

        make > make.log 2>&1 &
        
* install

        make install > make_install.log 2>&1 &
        
* try it out and report your findings to the list.


I have successfully built gcm-2.13.02 on a PPC running YDL-4.0.1+ [FC2+
clone] using both PAM and shadow authentication.
